[Medical applications of ozone for the rehabilitation of the patients presenting with chronic bronchitis and arterial hypertension]

Abstract

Of paramount importance at the stage of rehabilitative treatment of the patients presenting with combined cardiorespiratory pathology are therapeutic measures aimed at eliminating the principal components of pathogenesis of a given disease and correcting the concomitant immunometabolic disturbances. Our investigations have demonstrated that ozone therapy given to the patients with chronic bronchitis and hypertension produces lipid-lowering, hypoglycemic and fibrinolytic effects. Its combination with anti-hypoxic treatment helps to normalize the functioning capabilities of all organs and systems of the body. Immunomodulatory effects of ozone therapy is attributable to the disintoxicative and anti-hypoxic actions of medical ozone as well as activation of the "lipid peroxidation--antioxidant protection" system.
